A:
You can't have multiple elements with the same id on the same web page. You'll need to use some other method of identification such as a class (or with form controls the same name).

do I need to also set id,name for all my forms (is there such a rule) ?

No. You only need to use an ID if you need to identify/find that element for example in a JavaScript/jQuery or a Stylesheet. You need to set the name of a form control if you want its value to be submitted (which however is most of the time).

A:
ID attributes must be unique in web pages. It's part of the specification and you will always run into issues using the same id more than once.
